This stuff is awesome.

Your conversion work is really great. The re-posing and custom facial hair is going to make this army look wicked and unique. I'm not a fan of the wolf-dreadnought, mainly because it looks awkward (IMO) on the 2 bases.

I don't even like space wolves but I already love this army.

the guy who made the other dogdread is BobPanda, and he has some SICK conversions as well.

one of the things that i liked was using the space wolf backpack with the 2 wolf heads on it, cutting out the face of an MK7 marine head and stuffing one of the wolf heads into it.

Not true really, bob panda skills are awesome but he dident make the first Wolfnought. Ask him.

This was my entry at coolminiornot. Look at the date.

As well as my Gorilanought

And my Raptor Dreadnought

Totally cool. Russ would be so proud right now.

Truly grand. I love biggerized marines. And conversions so extensive you can count at least four colours on the miniatures before priming.

Amazing work.

@Col Hammer:

What thickness plasticard do you use when making your True Scale Marines? Do you put your spacers in the shins? What size do you use between the legs and torso? Just curious.

I can hardly wait to see more of your work! Keep it up and please keep updating us. Your work is truly inspiring.

Thanks,
Chappy P!

Hey Hammer - for once you're getting the love you deserve

Great start, looking forward to more, this is right your alley in terms of style and talent!

Great stuff amigo Love the unkempt barbarian look and feel to your minis
Nice painting as well.

They look great, can we get some more info on how you made them true scale, or close to that.

I actually cheat a bit here... I just put a blob of green stuff between the pieces of the cut chin and sort of eyeball it. So the thickness will wary a bit from mini to mini. Same with legs and torso - just a blob of greenstuff to extend the gap a bit. I used to use plasticard (my previous Ultramarines were made that way), but I got the lazybug and moved to greenstuff instead.

Yeah, your dread was the original inspiration. It was BobPandas dread that brought the design back to my mind. So both helped!

I actually haven't seen the Gorilla and Raptor versions. Nice!

@Col Hammer: Awesome thanks! One other question, I need to look on the first and second page, but do you alter the abdomen section of the marine at all before or after you space out the chest pieces? If you do not, then how do you disguise the waist section? My assumption is by knives, pouches and grenades?

One last quick question, did you modify the Chaos Marauder heads at all in order to fit them on the bodies? They are really cool bare head options for Space Wolves!

This is inspiring me to start a wolf army, which was my first army back in second edition, that I never fully finished. Thank you for your hard work, truly inspiring, I cannot say it enough!

Thanks,
Chappy P!

There will be quite big gap between the chest piece and legs that needs to be covered. You guessed it; pounches, ammo bags, purity seals, knives... anything you can find is useful in covering the gap. With wolves it's even easier! Bits of mangy, fleabitten fur that the wolves so love is excellent way of covering the gap.

I glued the marauder heads in place with the help of a bit of green stuff. Some of the heads have hair going the wrong way and that needs to be cut, but mostly they go in unmodified. I then add some hair and beard with green stuff to make them look even wilder.

Welcome to the pack. More wolves the merrier!

C'mon col, you cant keep us waiting long for updates
i may have to make a "squig dread" for my orks now

What do you mean? It was 82 days between my last post and this new update. Is that long?

Yes

And Thanks again for the information =D

I might have more questions about your Wolf Dread, but I'll save those questions for later.

Thanks again,
Chappy P!!

well, ive seen longer updates
mines just hit the few days mark on 1 and close to a month for the other 0_o

Col Hammer wrote:What do you mean? It was 82 days between my last post and this new update. Is that long?

Actually, I can't count. I forgot to add little thing called December. It was 113 days, not 82. If that makes any difference...

I'll try to make my updates little quicker this time.

bloody hell lol
thinking of annual updates?

But what makes Hammer unique is the amount of times he changes his mind! It actually takes that 113 days for him to change his mind about 456 times and come back to the same opinion and work on some wolves again

I think I can easily drop that to quarterly updates. So measely three months to go for the next one!

i know migs, thats why i keep atleast 5-10 different projects going at any time


lol, sounds ok when you put it like that col
sounds like FW's fething delivery service.

Awesome work! Really inspiring me to get back to work on my marines. Cant wait to see more.

I can't believe I've only just now found this thread...


BEAUTIFUL, can not wait to see more!

Since the Dognaught's base is so desolate and empty, I'm thinking of putting a corpse of Fenrisian wolf there... Would that be too much? I.e. would I get PETA hit squad after me for doing something that gross?

I mean, it is perfectly normal to put maimed and butchered guardsmen on the base, or lacking those, slavegirls... But would a dead animal cross the line?

Got a tutorial on how to do the wild hair, they look great!

Yeah, that might be too much. How about you just put a dead PETA member on the base instead...much more PC.

Not sure about having a corpse of something that the army uses for a symbol is the right message to convey...

Now a shredded Thousand Son or DA helmet/Corpse....that would be fine, and PETA couldn't say anything about it....unless you explain that said corpse was trying to hurt a poor innocent wolf, then you'd have backing!!!
